Once again I had problems - cracking graphics and a crashing client - but I was a bit more impressed than last time - having a guide to show me the good stuff and get the hang of the controls helped. I also met one or two of the other IBMers using Second Life. It’s clear that there’s still a lot more to explore. I’ve decided that I should attend one of the virtual IBM events - this seems to be one of the best uses of Second Life I’ve heard of so far.

I wonder what he made of Second Life - Take 2. Just shown him around and had the good fortune to bump into a couple of the infamous eightbar members doing a demo.

There are certainly plenty of people in Hursley more familiar with SL than me, so I'll see if I can get one of them to give me a guided tour and assess whether the performance problems I'm seeing are normal.

Which I'm not, although it might increase my readership if I was. Or something. - if you want to talk more about SL, drop someone like Roo or James T a line... I've done a guided tour or two now, as well. - shame about the problems with the T43, although I have to say that it ran on my T40 (albeit with settings turned down to improve performance), it runs on an R40 fairly acceptably, and it is much nicer on a T60p :-) Just a couple of quick thoughts:
